The Greatest OF Great Walls.

Says a correspondent of the Milling
World, who has recently been travelling
in China: Of course we had to 80 to
the great wall of China. The country
abounds in great walls. Her mural de-
fenSes were most extensive-w walled cOun
try, walled cities, walled villages. walled
palaces and tcmples-wall after wall and
wall W thin wall. But the greatest of
all is the great wall of China, which
crests the mountain ringe and crosses
the gorge from here some forty miles
away. S0uee ing through the last deep
gorge and deep rift in the sol d rock
cut out by ages Of rolling wheels and
tramping feet, we reach the great, frown-
ing. double-bast oned gate of stone aud
hard burned brick--one archway tum-
blrd in. This was the object OF our
mission, the great wall of China, built
2l3 years before our era; built of huge
slabs of wel-hewn stone, lai in regular
cour,es some twenty feet high and then
topped ont with large, harl-Lurned
bricks, filed in with earth aud closely
paved on the TOP with more dark. tawny
brick-the ra nparts high and thick and
castellated for the Use of arms. Right
and left the great wall sprang far up the
mountain side-now straight, now
curved, to meet the mountain ri &c,
turreted each 800 feet-a frowning mass
of masonry. No need to tell you of
this wall; the book, will tell you
how it was built to keep the wa like
Tartars out-twentv-fve feet high by
forty thick, 1880 miles long, VITA room
on top for six horses to be driven abreast.
Nor need l tell you that 1,iOO years 1t
kept tho ho.des at bay, nor that, In
the main, the material cd upon it is
lust as good and irm and strong as when
put in place. Twelve hundred miles OF
this gigantic work built Cn the rugged,
craggy mountain tons, vau ting over
gorges, spanning wide streams, netting
the river arc ways with huge hard bars
of copper, with double sates, with
swinging doors and bars set tn ok with
iron armor-a wonder in the world be-
fore which the old time clissic seven won.
ders, all gone now save the great pyra'
mid. were toys. The great pyramid has
s., 100, 900 cubic feet, the great wall G,'
$50, O0n, 900 C bic feet. An engineer II
Stewards party he e some years ago gave
it as his opinion that the cost of this wa
figuring labor at the same rate, would
more than equal that of all the 100, ,OO(
miles of railroad in the nited States
The material it contains would build
wal six feet high and two feet this
right straight arIuld tie globe. Vel
this was done in ly twenty years
without trace of debt or bond. 1t i
the greatest individual, labor the world
has ever known.

The following letter received on We'd
nesday, the 7th inst. from Buffalo Gap,
would indicate that at least one Of the
taxpayers Of the Stone City endorses
the CHRONICLES course in the late un-
pleasantness which disturbed the peace
and quiet of that now tranquil and or
derly place:
BUFFALO GAP, OAK, Sept. 8, 49,
EDITOR CHRONICLE.
DEAR SIR Allow me as q citizen Of
Buffalo Gap to endorse the position that
you have maintained in the FRYE con-
troversy by quietly minding your own
business.
The sectional fight that has disgraced
Buffalo Gap SO long, and cost Custer
county SO much, has undoubtedly been
kept alive more by the crazy ranting Of
the News than anv one cause. While |
did rot vote for Mr.. Frye, and probably
never will, | believe that he has per-
formed the duties of his Office to the
best Of his ability, and much more inn
partially than Editor Street would allow
the few people who read his $50 called"
News to believe If the charges made
are true, il is time they were proven.
and some action taken; while, if they
are false, an injustice has been done.
l would suggest that the board Of
insanity examine Professor Street to
determine whether he is lunatic, or
simply d fool. Let Us have peace.

Tobacco Culture.

E. M. Ayers, a prominent farmer of
French creek, near Fairburn, who was a
visitor in this place on Wednesday, in
forms us that he has met with surprising
success this season in his experimental
test in the culture Of tobacco. The crop
is now approaching maturity, with every
indication of an abundant yield. The
variety of tobacco grown is known as
the Kentucky seed leaf, and seems well
adapted to that particular section Of the
Hills. Leaves measuring 80 inches in
length and 10 inches in width are not
unusual, and it is the opinion Of Mr..
Ayres, who is familiar with the culture
of this popular weed of commerce, that
it can be proftably cultivated anywhere
in the outlying valleys Of the Black
Hills.

Favorable Mention.

The following, taken from the Olin,
Iowa) Recorder Of July 4th, fairly in
dicates the degree Of esteem in which
w. II. Rudisill, the principal of the Gus
ter City public school, was held in the
town where he formerly lived:
"W. II. Rudisill started for Rapid
City, Dakota, Sunday evening. Before
leaving, his many friends at this place,
presented him with beautiful gold
headed cane, which speaks in part of
the respect in which he has been held
by the people. For number of years
be has been engaged in the school work
and goes TO the western country with a
view of bettering his condition, fnanci-
ally. He is thoroughly educated in the
school work, good and noble man, and
we expect to hear good results for his
work in the future. He takes away the
best wishes of many friends"

Been Asleep.

The following late special to the St.
Paul Globe is not far wrong in the state
ment that Custer has been asleep for
years On her great natural advantages"
and that "she is now about to awake
from her lethargy, etc"
"This old town-the oldest in the
Black Hills--is taking on new life under
the prospect Of development of the tin
belt Of which she is the center. The
Chicago company which last spring
bought the Tin Mountain tin mines, in
Warren's Gulch, is now receiving the
power and machinery for the reduction
works. The plant will be large enough
for the present and prospective capacity
of the extensive veins in their mines.
